Dear Brothers & Sisters
Shri Muniraj is
Inviting you to celebrate Chetra Navaratri 2011
in
Herakhan Vishwa Mahadham
The celebrations will be from 4th to the 13th of April.
Our world is in great turmoil and any one can see it now, and there is much more to come...........
The need to recognise the greatest power in the universe, The Divine Mother and to invite HER into our lives is now more then ever.
The Sanatan Dharma practise which Shri Babaji has taught us and beautifully carried out by Shri Muniraj during Navaratri
hold potential to connect us to that which we hold inside and protect us from the demonic forces which are creating havoc on our planet and life in general.
It will be wonderful if you can join us there in Shri Babaji's home.
If somehow you are unable to come to India please do try to make it to one of Babaji's ashrams around the world.
Even if this is not in the realm of your possibilities remember that the Divine Mother is omnipresent
and will come also to your home where ever you are to listen to your prayers and be with you anywhere.
We remember and celebrate in these days that the Divine Mother, Durga Devi, the omnipresent ,
omnipotent source in our Universe will stand by us in our battle with our biggest enemy.
It is tempting to make the terrorist, the corrupt politician, the perverse priest, the ruthless dictator etc our enemy.
Some of us have a family member, neighbour or somebody in our personal life as the enemy in our focus.
But for the true devotee there is only one which keeps us away from our Divine self and that is our own EGO .
By prayer, service and focus on Her, she will enlighten, strengthen us and be present in our lives, our awareness will grow
so we have a chance in overcoming the obstacle to Divine Unity, our self we imagine to be.
It is in these days highly important that you make some effort also, it will be rewarded many fold.
She lives in the heart of each of us but with out your japa, prayers and concentration on HER how can SHE gain your focus ?
When you feel miserable and cry out for HER help; be conscious that you are truly only focussed on your self.
So make the effort, celebrate, repeat her name and envision your life in HER radiant light, in the darkness which is surrounding our world.

NAVARATRI (04 - 12 April) 2011
Navaratri is a very special time of honoring the Divine Mother. Exact translation of the word "Navaratri" is "9 nights". Navaratri happens in Spring and in Fall of every year. It begins on a New Moon. Each of the days honors a certain aspect of Divine Mother and gives a focus to the energy of that day. These are known as the Nava Durga (9 Names of Durga).

The days are also subdivided into 3 sets of three days:

Traditional Ways to Honor Divine Mother during Navaratri:
Usually, certain "sacrifices" or personal offerings are made during the nine days, such as giving up some certain food or drink or something you are accustomed to having or doing each day.
Some people restrict themselves to only one meal per day throughout the nine days. Some give up their favorite beverage, like coffee or tea; in the West, some give up watching TV or some other daily ritual they usually engage in. (All of you Catholics can relate to "giving up things" for Lent.)
You could also add something you don't usually do, such as reading the "Sapta Sati" or parts of the "Ramayana" or "Mahabharata" or other sacred scripture for 20 to 30 minutes each of the nine days. Whatever it is you choose, the idea is that each time you think of this thing you are doing, you offer up that thought and say a prayer to Divine Mother to increase your devotion to Her.
If you can continue your "Sadhna" for the full 9 days, there is a special reward from Divine Mother that happens on either the 9th or 10th day. She promises "a personal physical experience" of Her. This is individualized and only you will know what it is and when it has happened. It is up to you if you want to share it with anyone else after it happens. For some people it makes it more "real" to share, for some it is more powerful to keep silent about it.
The fifth day is considered to be the "turning point" day, when the cleansing/purification aspects are complete. The rest of the 9 days get a little easier to handle on the day when the Celebration is more than half completed.
The energy of each day is building so that by the end of the Navaratri there is much energy generated, each Fire Ceremony becoming more filled with Shakti (Divine Energy). For the highest benefits and greatest results of Navaratri, it is best to begin with the first day of Navaratri and go all the way to the end without missing any of the ceremonies.
This requires some personal commitment and is definitely worth whatever it takes for you to be able to do it. Think of the great personal commitment and sacrifice performed by Divine Mother in Her care of each of us each day! It is awesome!
You are free to follow as many of these practices at home as possible to observe the 9 Days of Divine Mother. Of course, you will receive the greatest benefit by joining together with others at a Haidakhandi Temple where the official ceremonies and observances are going on with those knowledgeable in performing them (trained Pujaris with Haidkhan experience). We hope you will all support this event to the fullest, as there is great expense and commitment given by the Center to provide both facilities and events to make this wonderful for everyone.
Consider sponsoring an event or ceremony, even if you can't be here. Another idea is to sponsor a person to attend the events that they wish. Both are great ways to be involved and honor Divine Mother. Please participate!
